Omschrijving
As Idaho’s State Historian, the question Keith Petersen heard most was, ""How did Idaho get such a strange shape?"" That curiosity is fitting, because those peculiar borders have held enormous influence on much of Idaho’s political, economic, and cultural history, and prompted repeated efforts to connect the north and south.
Keith Petersen was Idaho's State Historian and Associate Director of the Idaho State Historical Society, and his fascination with history has been expressed throughout his career. The author of numerous articles and books about the Northwest, he is the only person to have twice received the Idaho Book Award. This is his fourth book with Washington State University Press, where he formerly served as acquisitions editor. Petersen received the first annual Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Humanities from the Idaho Humanities Council in 1986, the Presidential Medallion from Lewis-Clark State College in 2006, and an Honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters from the University of Idaho in 2014.
"This book documents in colorful detail people and events that shape important state boundaries in the West, offers a major contribution to public awareness of Idaho history, and documents previously unknown or forgotten issues and sources in Idaho history. Lively and breezy, it's very well written."
--Kevin Marsh, professor of history at Idaho State University
